In terms of <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/bitcoin-etfs-a-beginners-guide-to-exchange-traded-funds">spot Bitcoin ETF </a>inflows, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust maintains its top position in fund inflows with a total of $3.23 billion as of Feb. 8, per Bloomberg data. 
The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund comes in second with inflows totaling $2.8 billion. The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF come third and forth with $696 million and $695 million in total inflows, respectively, as of Feb. 8.
A key thing to note is that the total inflows for the BTC ETFs have been <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-etfs-third-largest-inflow-btc-price-46-000">greater than the net outflows </a>from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust for nine days in a row.

 Yesterday the Spot <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> ETFs saw $403m net inflows. While Grayscale sold only ~$100M worth of BTC. It's not a good idea to be bearish right now imo. <a href="https://t.co/1vlFcJExJ3">pic.twitter.com/1vlFcJExJ3</a>— The DeFi Investor (@TheDeFinvestor) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheDeFinvestor/status/1755980815173890349?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 9, 2024</a>

This increase in the price of Bitcoin ETF shares and the positive netflow come when the Bitcoin price movement is expected to lead to a bull run.
